After posting a few ways to decorate with flea market finds, we thought we'd follow up with a list of 10 more common vintage items that can be repurposed as sorters, storage pieces, and general household helpers.

A vintage toolbox makes a good jewelry box, cord sorter, or a place to stash your TV remotes.

A set of matching vintage canisters can store bathroom supplies, extra cords, or pens and pencils.
